STATEMENT OF FAITH

One God
There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4), who is infinitely perfect (Matthew 5:48), existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). Jesus Christ is the true God and the true man (Philippians 2:6-11).

He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:34-38). He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust (1 Peter 3:8), as a substitutionary sacrifice (Hebrews 2:9), and all who believe in

Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood (Romans 5:9). He arose from the dead according to the Scripture (Acts 2:23-24). He is now at the right hand of Majesty on high as our great High Priest (Hebrews 8:1). He will come again to establish His kingdom, righteousness, and peace (Matthew 26:64).

The divinity of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is a divine person (John 14:15-18), sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the believer (John 16:13; Acts 1:8), and convince the world of righteousness and judgment against sin. (John 16:7- 11).

It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly (1Thessalonians 5:23), being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God,thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service (Acts 1:8).

Authority of the Scriptures
The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of his will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice (2 Peter 1:20-21 ; 2 Timothy 3:15-16).

The Lord's Supper
The "Lord's Supper" consisting of the elements, bread, and juice. It is the symbol expressing our sharing in a memorial to His suffering and death and a prophecy of His second coming of the Lord. (Luke 22: 19-20 1 Corinthians 11:24-25)

Original Sin and Salvation

Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27); he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature (Romans 3:23), are separated from the Life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:20-23). The portion of the unrepentant and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment (Revelation 21:8); and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and bliss (Revelation 21:1-4).

Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men, and those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God (Titus 3:47).

Man's Fall and Redemption

Man was created good and upright, for God said, "Let us make man in our image and after our likeness. "Man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen. 1:26-31; Gen. 3:17; Rom. 5:12-21).

Water Baptism
The ordinance of water baptism (Matthew 28:19) shall be administered by all established places of worship to all those who have repented of their sins and who have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ for the saving of their souls (Rom. 6:5; Col. 2:12).

Divine Healing

Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of all believers (Isa. 53:4, 5; Matt. 8:16, 17; Mark 16:18; John 5:14). Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ to heal the mortal body (Matthew 8:16-17). Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the church in this present age (James 5:13-16).
